Hoping that these will be suitable with the case I already have Rosewill R379-M MATX

My current plan is to install Ubuntu 22.04

Configuring LVM

• fixme
• during installation, I realized systemA was only 150 MB instead of 150 GB! :( so I resized it with "sudo lvresize /dev/main-vg/systemA -L 150GB" while in the Ubuntu Live desktop

Installing Ubuntu

• normal installation, download updates while installing, install third-party software & Secure Boot (chose password)
• installation type / something else
• chose /dev/mapper/main-vg-swap as a swap partition using "Change..." button, selected /dev/mapper/main-vg-root for boot loader installation, placed cursor on /dev/mapper/main-vg-root > "change..." to ext4 journalling file system, format the partition, mount point:/boot --- /dev/mapper/main-vg-systemA to ext4 journaling file system, format the partition, mount point:/
